Factual error: The 'Post Office' is nothing like an English one would have been, even in a remote rural location in Victorian times. It seems to have been transposed from the American Wild West.

Crimson Peak is Guillermo del Toro's ode to older horror films and Gothic, Victorian-era storytelling-brooding, atmospheric and elaborate. Here, beautiful Edith is caught in a web of lies and a terrible plot as a dashing but dubious English noble tries to draw her away from her father and her writing to join him and his sister at a haunted mansion that is slowly sinking into red muck. Imaginatively weird-looking spirits, grand sets and disturbing moments make Crimson Peak worthy of a look while Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleton and Jessica Chastain are ably cast in the main roles. Good for some Halloween mood-making, but not really for those used to faster-paced horror fare.
